There is €100 fee. You dont have to pay it there and the though. They send you out a bill (usually the next month) and give you time to pay it. If you cant pay it they will give you more time and god forbid something happened to you before you had it payed they wont turn you away for not having paid it.
If you go to the doctor first and get a letter and the go down to the casualty its free, since you've been referred by your doctor. Of course you're doctor will charge you €50 then and there.
I'd say of you can scrape up the €50 go to the doctor and get a referral so the casualty will be free.
If you cant then just go to the casualty and get charged €100 that you can put off paying for awhile. |

edit: If you haven't applied for medical cards then you both need to do that but if he needs medical treatment he should go to hospital, even if they do charge something you should be able to work out something with them, I'm sure they'd be perfectly happy with payment by affordable instalments.
A lifetime dealing with the consequences of an untreated broken bone will be far more costly.
Original Answer: Are you visitors or residents?
If he's broken his foot then he needs treatment & they can sort it later.
If you're visiting Ireland & you're from an EU member state you should have what's called European Health Insurance Card (this replaced the E111). If you have this then his treatment will charged to the Health Service of your home country. If he doesn't have this card & he's from an EU member state, they may be able to make some arrangement to charge it to the Health Service of your home country.
If you're from outside the EU then yes, he will have to pay. Does he have travel insurance?

Absolutley not !!! It's €100 now, it used to be €60.00 but it went up to €100 to stop people just walking in instead of being sent by their doctor.
Rip off !!!!

NO nothing is free in ireland |

Trust me I'm a Doctor ♥

You have to pay unless you have a medical card I think its about €60.
Edit: Apply for the medical card straight away if he's lost his job and you are on a low income. You'll get it no problem.
My b/f was out of work for 12 months, we've been so skint that I couldn't afford to buy cooking ingredients for my daughter's home ec. lessons one day, so I totally sympathise with your predicament.
Hope he's ok. |

It will cost you €100 for the initial visit to A&E, all follow up treatment is free.
They will take your PRSI number and bill you.
Medical Card holders are free, from the start.
2 tier system. |

They will admit you and you can pay the 100euros later. Go and apply for a medical card and bring the invoice into the welfare office with you. They will either pay it or you pay it and you will be reimbursed when your medical card comes through. |

In the Republic if you have a medical card then it is free, if you don't then the cost is 60 Euro.
I needed treatment at A&E 2 years ago for torn ligaments and the cost was 50 euro then, I believe it has gone up to 60 since then.
A&E treatment is only free in N.Ireland and the UK, |
